It's not too early to start thinking of the tun of March Madness... that first 4 days of the tournament is just about the most exciting 4 days in sports. I plan to take time off work just to follow the games.

Anyone up for joining a private group on Yahoo?

hey Jomarie...Hope those Bruins will be going far in the NCAA's this year...They say Love is going pro after this year...I hope he stays one more. JIM

January 24, 2008  10:02 AM ET

I hope Love stays another year too... But if UCLA keeps playing like they did last Saturday they aren't going to get to the Big Dance.

January 24, 2008  09:29 PM ET

yep...i beat you in one and you beat me in one, didn't you? I have been wrong before. I think the Bruins will get their butt in gear...They can turn on that smothering defense when they want to....Love needs to refine his offensive game. His passing is ready, just needs to get stronger for the NBA.

I added March Madness and college basketball to the group tags at top of page. There's nothing wrong with doing a little recruiting here since FanNation is not really a fantasy sports game-playing site. Not that I've seen.
There is a section for Fantasy advice at top of page.

January 25, 2008  02:35 AM ET

Nope Jim you beat in Greg's league... which I led all season until the last game and everyone beat me in Jackalope's league... You beat me twice you darn devil!...

My Bruins better get it in gear... At least football is looking up with Norm Chow joing the team!!.. Whoo Hoo!!!

January 25, 2008  05:23 PM ET

March Madness? GO GATORS!!!

January 25, 2008  11:33 PM ET

Yep....Kinda hate the fact he coached for that "other" LA school...But if we win, all that will go away. I think Neuheisel will bring a championship to Pasadena....Not for a few years though. GO BRUINS!!!!!

January 25, 2008  11:57 PM ET

March Madness or Bruin madness? Either way, it sounds like a fantasy is involved somewhere! LOL.
A private group on Yahoo? What do I know about college basketball? Especially the first few games...

January 26, 2008  11:42 AM ET

Greg you don't need to know much.... picr the low number seeds and a few lucky guesses and you have as good a chance as anyone!

January 26, 2008  11:50 AM ET

Are you going to set a group up, jomarie? You could post a link here.

January 27, 2008  12:52 AM ET

I will when Yahoo lets us set up groups I promise... That won't be until next month sometime I believe.... But until then it's fun to talk about.

Anyone watching the figure skating championships tonight?

January 27, 2008  05:59 AM ET

What time did you post , what is it, Pacific time? It was 5 hours ago which would be about 1 AM here. Right now it's going on 6 AM. Couldn't sleep anymore so I'm messin' around.
I'll join your Yahoo group even though I''m not a great college basketball fan. I have to play so many games to earn Uber points on ESPN. My points build up my personal record. Only the best players scores count in the team competitions. Bue Men's Tournament --ESPN's version of March Madness--is one of the free games (Category B sport) I can play to earn points. It costs $30 to play in a Fantasy Baseball League (Category A sport) that earns points, Free to play FB leagues have bragging rights but no Uber points. It's a little complicated. That's why it makes sense to find a good Uber group to join. I'm in the first (entry) level so I need to earn points to move to the next level.
Bottom line, I'll play two March Madness groups--yours on Yahoo and ESPN with my Uber group.

Figure skating? Some of those women are fantasies! J/K
Like Ice Dancing better! Depends on what else is on.

January 28, 2008  03:04 PM ET

Hey, jo! Does Yahoo have the womens' NCAA tornament? It's a Cat. C sport on ESPN Uber competition.
We stayed at my sister's last year after a fire at our house. My b-in-law liked watching the womens' games. It was his TV.
Actually, they were fun to watch.
Since that's another chance for a free sport that earns Uber points, I'll probably play on ESPN.
You're in charge of March Madness on this site, OK?

January 28, 2008  10:01 PM ET

Not a problem.. I hope... With my Dad so ill I need something to take my mind off troubles.

January 29, 2008  04:32 AM ET

Sorry about your dad.Been there.
We'll figure this out. No big deal.

January 29, 2008  09:05 AM ET

Thank you Greg. I should be able to set the league up Greg... after that Yahoo takes care of the rest. As I said I can use a distratction.

January 29, 2008  02:17 PM ET

Make sure you set up a women's league as well. I, also, could use a distraction. LOL!

January 29, 2008  11:53 PM ET

What's that bad smell?!?
Oh ya, the UofA Mildcats rotting from the inside out!...

 
January 30, 2008  12:09 AM ET

Okey Dokey Greg.... ESPN has a woman's pick em ... I don't think Yahoo does though. But not to worry I will set up both the mens and the womens groups.
